October is Blindness Awareness Month
This month Central Susquehanna Sight Services will offer information about what blindness is!
The federal definition of legally blind is 20/200 or a visual field of 20 degrees or less. That means what you see at 200 feet away, the legally blind person would be 20 feet away from that same object. Or the visual field is 20 degrees or less (think "tunnel vision").
Visit our blog for more information.

Our mission is:
• to help prevent vision loss
• to provide support to people with vision loss or blindness
• to educate the public of capabilities of those living with vision loss
CSSS provides central Pennsylvania residents who are blind or visually impaired with the supportive programs and services needed to live fulfilling and self-sufficient lives in their own homes.
Our vision screening and educational programs proactively target the approximately 50% of blindness that is preventable through early detection of vision problems and education on good eye health and good eye safety.
CSSS assists low-income individuals who have no vision insurance coverage with purchasing eyeglasses.
We love our customers, so feel free to visit during normal business hours.
